Fabulous afternoon tea
Pros:

Fabulous afternoon tea. Beautiful location, strained tea leaves, delicious selection of sandwiches, warm scones and delicate pastries. The quality was excellent.
Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and the chef came out to say hello which was a nice touch. Recommended!

Perfect place to rest and enjoy Windsor Castle and the walks along the Thames.
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful and offered many choices. The location is within walking distance of both train stations and easy access to the airport and Windsor Castle and the Long Walk. We would definitely stay again.

Cons:

We loved the entire experience no down sides.

Cons:

When booking it’s not clear where the room is situated. We didn’t realise the room we’d booked was in an annex across the road so you’d have to leave one building to go to another for breakfast, quite dark and no view and had no bath which had been requested. Paid to upgrade to the main building .

Pros:

Lovely spacious room, had a view of the river, breakfast was also lovely with a table overlooking the river and there were a variety of breakfast items to choose from.
Was only 5 minute walk to Windsor castle.

Cons:

The double bed was two single beds put together and the mattress topper was a little thin and could feel in the middle but other than that was comfy enough

Great location, very poor management and process
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

On arrival the hotel had lost my booking. So opened a new booking

And then charged us twice, insisting we were related to another random person who did not show up so used our card to settle their bill
